new issue?
My OSD display doesn't automatically close during any TV/Movie playback. I have a 4 sec setting on it. Anyone else notice this?

When I try to change any colors (such as the "Busy animation color diffuse" setting), I get an error:
"Skin helper service colorpicker error"
I also get an error every time I start Kodi:
"Skin helper service backgrounds error" (or something close to that)

decided to try this new Beta after using the stable version for the past 2 weeks. I think i may know the problem but still...
Windows 10pc, Jarvis 16.1 with stable build. Great, worked fine but ive used beta beforehand and there were somethings i missed that wernt fixed in the stable one so.... backed up skin settings, created a kodi backup and also backued up my themes
Then removed 16.1 completley from my pc and then installed Kodi Beta 17 (v5) from windows 10 store app. Played around with few other skins but came back to Titan. Didnt really have time to install everything so i used my backup (kodi) to reinstall apps etc... then enabled them in Kodi 17.
Installed Krypton Beta of this skin and updated all addons. Ran skin backup from my Jarvis backup (potential problem here) and then installed my theme i made. Luckily it worked!!!
So, few problems ive noticed in the past few hours of usage
1 - Widgets, they take forever to show, sometimes not at all. I guess ill have to reset them all again
2 - Submenus, i want to amend and add some addons to my music submenu. When i access it everything is blank and a skin helper error pops up. I can access submenu from main menu and it all works but i cannot amend it.
3 - No busy animation image. Just takes me to folders to choose one (none, Custom single image or custom multi images)
so, am i right in thinking 1&2 to just restore my menu items and start again or am i better offf starting again from a fresh install as i restored a jarvis backup for krypton and maybe thats whats messed it all up

After this last update,
1. the info screen is blank when selected. The options are gone(refresh,change art,etc). Info is not accessible in library.
2. Cant change custom logo anymore. I can select the image but it returns to the page without changing logo.
3. I cant set submenu labels anymore. Custom label is not accessible.
Anyone else having this problem or a solution?

Gone are the black screens during skin updates, navigation is faster, widget loading is faster, widget refreshing is faster, startup performance is great, automated backups is a great addition. thanks for all the work Marcel.
Thanks, great to hear that weeks of work actually pay off ;-)
It was a hell of a job to get the most performance and max features at the same time.
Offcourse there are a few issues which need fixing but after that I think this update will make a lot of users happy.

Settings and Favourites look blank, i.e. there's no background picture in the buttons in the main menu. Is there something I need to do to restore them?

In that case something is messed up on your system. Have a look at the Kodi logfile for the cause.
If you spot an exception/error there, share it with me or upload your entire log somewhere for me.

You might have to re-set your widgets and menu images with this new beta update. I haven't figured out a way to migrate those settings in a clean way.
Also, the other issues you mention should all have been fixed, if not, please share your kodi logfile with me.

Still having this issue in most recent beta ? I provide a new beta every day as I'm rapidly squashing all the bugs that are reported.

1) Can't reproduce this issue. Info screen is working fine on all my testsetups. Does this issue still exist ?
2) Issue reproduced and fixed just now, new version coming within a few hours.
3) Can't reproduce this issue. If it still exists, tell me step by step what exactly is broken and what to do to reproduce.
